Balt. 15 Aug 1807
Dr. Sir/
I recd. your letter yesterday covering One for Capt. T. Chase—Do me the favor to send the inclosed to our friend
It is doubted here, whether Louis has abdicated the Crown of Holland, but not that the Emperor has been very much incensed against him for permitting the Trade with England to be as free as it had been prior to his Decree—the Death of the Child has probably broke every Tie that existed between King Louis & his Wife—I am Dr Sir
with truth your friend
S. Smith
